SF X TK – Xbox 360 Pair Play Will Not Be Patched. Two Offline Players Cannot Play Online

If you are picking up your Xbox 360 copy of Street Fighter X Tekken today, you may notice that you can’t bring a two player pair into online battles. This is because local team-ups are disabled on the Xbox 360 version. A recent post on the Capcom-Unity forums asked whether or not this would be patched saying:

I’ve been hearing multiple reports that on the 360 you cannot play tag-team online with 2 people on the same console. Even with 2 gold accounts, people are saying it’s just not there. And in the PS3 game manual, it supposedly says you can have another player join by pressing start or whatever. In the 360 manual, that text is removed.

Will this be patched in at a later date (Ideally on launch day), or will everyone who gets the 360 version just get screwed over in this area?

Capcom’s Christian Svensson responded to this post with an unfortunate “no.” Apparently, the functionality was disabled due to how the Xbox handles Gamertags. There’s simply nothing Capcom can do. This is particularly disappointing considering that the SF X TK Xbox manual says that pair play is possible when it isn’t.

It will not be patched and apologies for the manual inclusion. Seems it was an oversight. The difference has to do with how XBL differs from how it handles online and offline accounts.

According to the team:

“PS3 version: It is possible to mix and match online and offline players for scramble battles and pair play battles. Two local players can play on the same PS3 using 1 PSN ID, and play against other players online.

360 version: It is NOT possible to mix and match online and offline players for scramble battles and pair play battles. So you either have to have all players be offline and local (so 4 players, 1 xbox) or have all the players be online (4 players, 4 xboxs).”

The reason for this difference is because of the architecture differences between gamertags and PSN IDs. I’m not sure of the technical details, but basically it amounts to: Sony made it so you can mix and match online and offline, and Microsoft made it so you can’t.

UPDATE: BTW, I’m still digging into this explanation. I’m also confused by it.

MK is even reaching a bit, fucking HALO. Microsoft’s flagship title allows the very thing that Capcom is claiming they can’t do. I mean, if you’re gonna lie at least TRY to make it convincing.

I’d suggest this as a rule for srk comments: if you complain about code and netcode you should provide a reference to your degree in informatics.

http://mystady.com/ MY STADY — mystady.com

You have nothing to stand on here. The ability to do this appears in plenty of other xbox 360 games. So yeah, it stands to reason that Capcom sucks at coding.

It’s possible they’ll patch it in later. We’ll see.

Ok, but if the feature is implemented in the ps3 version and they claim they couldn’t do on xbox, I don’t see why they should be lying.

(and sorry for the harsh comment, it’s just that all the time I hear people commenting on netcode issues with capcom, while they should just complain with at&t or whatever is the name of any provider in US)

Probably an issue with custom stuff or gems. Im wondering if player profiles need to be linked from the hard drive at the same time to read a players offline custom save content, and the Xbox cant do this? Just speculating, but everyone else is acting like capcom is being malicious. It wouldn’t make sense at all for them to leave out functionality for half the player base by their own wishes, but it could be as gloom and doom as all you weaners think, too. In the mean time, I’ll be being not sweated on in my own personal space, and play online with my friends the big boy way instead of complaining because I can’t have a sfxt sleepover.

It’s malicious to misinform people, especially when games generally can’t be returned after purchasing. I play with my son and girlfriend, so I don’t know if that falls under your “sleepover” analogy, but this is pretty devastating to people like me that bought this for same console co-op.

It’s very easy to code an application to read in custom information. The Xbox 360 has no problems whatsoever reading a simple config file. The technology and functionality is there. Even if they are too lazy to incorporate that, there is no reason they couldn’t code the game to handle a guest with no config.

I’m withholding any real grudges here about the game because I’m confident after this shitstorm they will implement it as advertised. They don’t have much of a choice.

I don’t think you understand the meaning of the word ‘malicious’ – point being, I didn’t say it was a good thing. I simply said I doubt the intent was as malicious as people are making it out to be. Get a dictionary.

Exactly my point: the meaning of the word is about motivation, not the action, I.e. capcom wasn’t sitting in the office rubbing thief hands together saying “we’ll really hurt them now with this exclusion, bwahahah”. Outcome = bad/wrong, but a global business’s intent to the consumer is almost never ‘malicious’. Work on your comprehension before you pick apart what I say.

YOU CAN DO SOMETHING WRONG OR BAD BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN IT HAD MALICIOUS INTENT, TARD =D

The only problem I can sorta see from what I’m reading is that since GEMS will play such a nimportant role, each player should have a designated xbl profile/gt/account, instead of simply using the 1st players account and player 2 being a guest.

Except in Reach you can have 1 account with 3 guests, or all 4 players with there own account playing online in the same room.

So ur saying that even though Xbox 360 has plenty of other games where u can play Co-op u cant play it on this. Yeah dude: its TOTALLY microsoft’s fault. There’s something called lying and it happens to be wat Capcom does. So yea u read it right: but WAT u read were lies.

After reading the posts, i would agree that the problem is XBox Live.

Tyler Okonek

It’s worthwhile to note that capcom also included 5 exclusive characters ps3, while there is none for the xbox. and with resident evil 6, the anthology(ps3) includes more content than archives(xbox360). It seems as if ps3 is getting the better deal in multiple situations as of late, so I find it very hard to believe this was “Technical issues”. In addition, they advertised it for both consoles, and included it in both manuals. Only after the game was released did they come out and say they never planned on it being in the 360 part of the game. Along with screwing their customers over with on disc dlc, this is hardly of problem with xbox live, but rather capcom participating in several examples of shady business practices

Pretty sure you could play 2 local players online for Halo 3 also, using a guest sign-in.
Am I wrong?

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1268783559 Dat Dogge

you can play Halo 3/Reach using guests or with multiple xbox live accounts signed in(assuming they all have gold)

with the latest update adding cloud stuff you can even log into your profile on another xbox now and play online with your account from there.

Hell you could have one person with an account, and up to three guest players on-line playing matchmaking in Halo at once.

I know Capcom can’t just go and ask for networking code from other developers, but this feature has been done several DOZEN times, so no, blaming it on Microsoft isn’t going to work Capcom. Please insert your ‘Super Try Again Turbo’ disk.

If you’re a FGC fan you need a PS3, truth hurts. For other games Xbox gets the advantage but that really doesn’t matter. I got an xbox because it’s what all my friends have. It got it for the social and community aspects. But if I had money I’d probably get a PS3 on the side just for fighting games.

But isn’t it usually the opposite way around? Like Resident Evil 5 only having player-unique inventories on the XBL version? Gamertag Guests have been a part of the XBL system for donkey’s years, what’s stopping them making use of that tech here?

Yeah, this makes no sense to me. They could have easily let two players sign in with two different gamertags on the same console for pair play (see: Halo, RE5, NFL Blitz, just off the top of my head). In fact, I had previously been second-guessing my decision to go with the PS3 version BECAUSE I thought each player would be able to use their own gamertags/get their own achievements. This is balls and the people buying this for the 360 deserve better.

Console fanboys like you need to stop being stupid and seeing the issue as PS3 vs 360.

This is the removal of an advertised feature for no reason. It frankly is an issue when there has been no indication until launch that the 360 version lacks offline co-op versus online.

The technical reason was most likely that they where too busy slam packing the PS3 full of exclusive content and features.

Seriously though, you can’t blame everything on Microsoft Capcom. Especially something that countless other games have done before. You’re seriously going to tell me that it’s Microsofts fault you couldn’t figure out how to get this basic feature in despite the aforementioned successes? Really?

It’s been done in other games. My guess is that this is part of their deal for exclusives they made with Sony…and they don’t want to come clean, because they know the fan backlash they would face for releasing a maimed product.

While I appreciate the conspiracy theory in your comment, the fact is a game company could never do that, they would face potential lawsuits from every single person who bought the game for xbox 360, and would ruin their company forever. A much more reasonable, and likely explanation is that they developed a huge portion (if not all) of this game on the PS3, due to all the exclusive characters for Sony, and how much Sony invested into this game. Capcom, being a bit too lazy for their own good, ignored the fact that xbl and psn work differently in the way that they handle gamertags, and released a game that had an advertised feature, that didn’t work properly for one of the systems.

Even though how this happened (if the above is true, which seems the most likely to me) is fairly understandable, the fact that they released the game with this issue, is completely inexcusable. My guess, is they discovered the problem after the game went gold, and were unable to fix it because it would take some reworking of the architecture, which is a fairly massive thing to change so late in the development process, so now, they’re blaming microsoft (which is actually true, but that doesn’t mean it would’ve been impossible to make work, just that the way they wrote it, it doesn’t work)

Anonymous

He’s saying other companies had no problem adding the feature to both. :

http://twitter.com/Tooitchy Darren Kehrli

It’s impossible on the architecture that SFxT uses, because that feature was probably developed on the PS3, and it’s far too big a thing to change through a patch, so in this case, yes, technically it is impossible on xbox. However had Capcom found out about the problem earlier (they obviously knew months ago, but that’s not enough time to fix before release) they could have fixed it and had it working for xbox. Although, while I do understand the cause of the problem (if i’m right), I still think Capcom is lazy as hell, and could’ve fixed it if they really wanted to.

I got it for 360, and I am very pissed off that I can’t play co-op with other people, without us both being on our own systems. It’s not silly to take 2 character specialists, put them on a team together, and play. That’s far from silly, it’s actually a very competitive system, and we will see it at tournaments. It’s also an advertised feature on the box. You’re just lying to yourself, so that you feel better about getting it for 360, but trust me, us 360 owners, got less of a game than ps3 owners did.

And I have both systems, and was debating on getting it for ps3 or 360. I picked 360 because that’s the more competent system when it comes to online competition, at least in my experience. However, had I not learned about this problem AFTER the game was released, and I had my copy, I would’ve picked it up for ps3 instead. Capcom screwed xbox owners badly with this game.

It would be a nice consolation prize if they were just honest about it. “yeah we’re too lazy to do anything about that, sorry.” just like fucking spectator mode in mvc3. fuck them i bet ultimate sfxt will have it.Shit like this makes it really hard for me to keep liking capcom.

Could everyone with a Capcom-Unity account leave a message in this
thread, hopefully if we make enough noise Capcom will add 2 player co op
online to the xbox360 version of the game. It was advertised AND is in
the 360 instruction manual.

I love how Sven came into that Capcom-Unity thread, posted that weaksauce excuse, then locked the thread. Capcom knows they fucked up with this.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Richard-Zhao/1394070245 Richard Zhao

Before people hurry to bring up other games and say how capcom’s lying. Think about it, how would it benefit them to do something like this. It not only gives them bad publicity but also decreased sales.

Yes other games allows this but maybe there’s some kind of internal working structure of the game that prevent it from working in SFxT. Obviously none of us can know the details but capcom has nothing to gain from doing something like this (unlike with on disk DLC).

Perhaps they may figure something out and patch it in eventually but if it was a possibility, then Svenson shouldn’t have answered with a flat out no. I’m surprised that capcom didn’t try to work out a way for this to work on 360 since this definitely will reflect negatively on their sales figures, and the company as a whole.

While it may be due to the structure of the 360, as a developer developing a game for that console, capcom should have accounted for this before hand and worked to resolve it during the development cycle.

Jose Di Paola

“Think about it, how would it benefit them to do something like this. It
not only gives them bad publicity but also decreased sales.”

Reduced development time and money. Also, to avoid low sales they can just act like the feature is on both systems until release… Which is what they did.

Yes I agree that not announcing this beforehand was a bad move, however, while launch sales mean something, post launch sales make up a much larger percentage of total sales. This destroys the long term sales figures of SFxT on the 360 along with DLC sales on the 360.

If reduced development time would justify the loss of sales, then quite frankly a lot more games would do this.

The only reason i can see capcom making sure that guest co-op isn’t available on the 360 is if Sony had a large monetary business agreement with capcom. It’s possible since Sony obviously made a monetary agreement for the ps3 exclusive characters, but really this boarders on a conspiracy theory.

Why did Capcom even release this game on 360? They’re making it pretty clear that the PS3 version is the “real” version.

You DO realize that I was being critical, right? Capcom’s piss-poor handling of this game should be ridiculed, from its promotion (Cross Assault), to the Vita-Only/Pay-to-Unlock characters, and now this.

The game looks sweet, and unlike the trolls, I can see this is a full product, but whether it’s favoritism or just fuckin MONEYHATS, Capcom’s really done a shit job. I seriously feel bad for 360-only players, especially since Capcom’s “explaination” is bullshit. I see multiple people on the same console online all the time in Halo, Call of Duty and the like.

Svenson wouldn’t have answered with a solid no if he wasn’t told to do so by Capcom superiors, or if they had prior knowledge of the issue and were just waiting for it to come up to respond.

Midway and Capcom are two different companies people. Besides, Capcom has an affair with Sony.

False advertisement. May 360 owners are mad. Stand up and do something about it, if not Capcom will keep walking over their loyal customer’s backs just to make a buck. Call, email Capcom. Contact Better Business Bureau. Do something.

I know I’m by no means in the minority on this, but I call bull. I’ve played plenty of 360 games (Gears 3 immediately comes to mind) in which a friend and I on the same xbox could team up in online games. Rather than shifting the blame elsewhere, how about manning up and either admitting the reason or addressing it Capcom? >=|

Blaming Microsoft is fucking bullshit – there are plenty of games that allow guests or more than one player on the same console on the 360.

http://siriusswag.tumblr.com/ Nikkawhat

I’m glad everyone on SRK is a game developer and is 100% sure Capcom’s approach to the issue is the same as Bungie’s and NetherRealm’s and that there absolutely can’t be hinderances.

Here’s the problem Sven has: he basically is the go-to man for being told to drive off screaming hoards. The guy has to come up with excuses, but the biggest problem is sometimes they are simplified excuses for a real problem that Capcom doesn’t want to explain.

Example: on another site, someone who has worked with developers before claims that on XBL, it’s possible but -complex- to allow a guest to sign in and shadow a XBL Gold gamertag. The reason why you see it in Call of Duty and Halo is because the multiplayer online of those games is basically the focus of the entire game. The developers make it work. And it isn’t easy – anyone who has played MW3 on Xbox knows that there are difficulties and glitches with local split screen players joining parties online and being invited to games. The best execution of the function is in Halo, and Bungie put tremendous amounts of work into the framework of Halo multiplayer.

MK9 has the feature most likely because of the large budget applied to the online suite. They went there with making the feature work.

The problem that is probably behind SFxT here, is that it’s an easy thing to do on PSN, but complex to do on XBL, so at some point in development the feature got axed. This is why there’s still even a reference to it in the game manual. Rather than admit that development time ran out, Sven has been ordered to say it is “impossible”. Which isn’t strictly true. But it’s true that it’s complex and not as simple as pushing the “couch co-op” button.

Ah, Capcom. They can’t catch a break both internally and externally.

Jose Di Paola

If they actually revealed this before people bought the game, there wouldn’t be as much of a problem. People would have just either accepted it or canceled their pre-orders. Capcom’s advertising never even insinuated that there wouldn’t be pair play on the 360.

So yeah, fuck them.

RenaTurnip

I was waiting for someone to come and be the first person to speak real words. I figured if I scrolled down enough it would happen.

You’re very probably right, of course, but the bottom line is still that Capcom made no reference to this at all, and if they’d wanted, they -could- have made it work. Anything is possible, always. It’s more about not letting anyone know, though. That just seems like a really stupid decision on their part. They’re not exactly trying very hard to -keep- any fans or supporters lately…

Anyways, it doesn’t affect me. I have a PS3 and I don’t even buy many games regardless.

Wow this is crazy! No DLC for Xbox now this…Capcom X MS?! Was this game rushed through QA? Did another fighting game on XBox have Pair online play DOA? I own a PS3 I wouldn’t know am a fan of PS3 not a fanboy. I didn’t buy the game not a fan of the idea in the first place, but I do follow game industry news. Pair play is still there for Xbox just not 2players 1 box online etc. So in a way its not absolute false advertisement right? I dunno I would have to look at the trailers or if its on the box or booklet then yeah false advertisement etc.

I seriously think its something else that’s broken not pair play.
Something like pair play online (2p one box) guest player cannot change their gems. Maybe you are unable to unlock content something like Game Breaking that forced them to disable that feature.

I wonder if someone lost their job over this? lol

side note: About the no DLC on Xbox I would think that Bungie or Epic Games didn’t want their characters on a SF game or something like that happened. That’s my opinion. Marcus and Elisa chainsaw fight…..would’ve been cool.

Well skullgirl comes out soon, so I think peeps should just wait for that and play it.

PSN plus subscribers and free PSN can play together while Xbox 360 gold members can only play online together, and since it’s a combination of offline and online modes, it can’t work with the pay to play architecture of xbox live. But couldn’t this be corrected? Capcom should of done their research first about learning how to code this properly into Microsoft’s online architecture, but obviously the development was already done. Its both microsofts and capcoms fault.

Oh look, the second excuse to make a “Super Street Fighter x Tekken”. I wonder what other problems will arise….hmm.

Sven’s answer was completely false. The XBOX and PS3 may have different ways of using accounts, but that shouldn’t make a difference. Dozens of games have done it. Old games. This game is the largest slap to the face of Xbox gamers ever. It’s quite shameful how much they’re allowing Sony to sponsor them.

What’s even worse is how they never said the feature was absent from the 360 version, and it’s only after people that bought the game found out about it that they go “Oops, sorry I didn’t tell you guys before, oh well :-P”. They even mention the feature in the freaking manual! *smdh*

Good shit Capcom, good shit.

So, basically SFxT players got screwed over on both consoles?

Personally I could care less. I just want these glitches patched online with the camera and sounds cutting out.

It looks like Sven was just repeating something a dev told him because he edited his post to add:

“EDIT: BTW, I’m still digging into this explanation. I’m also confused by it.”

It doesn’t make sense that it’s something on Microsoft’s end, so hopefully this is just a giant misunderstanding and it can be patched for the 360…

Translation: Microsoft doesn’t support people playing online on the same console together and would prefer people buy their own console, game, and pay their own $60 a year fee.

Lol Capcom, man you guys are really on the ball lately.

Good thing I bought the PS3 version, but I do feel bad for all 360 users. This is bullshit.

In all honesty. How many of us were even going to go online 2v2 anyway? Maybe like once in awhile or when the game first comes out. That’s about it.

Sony must be paying OUT THE ASS, because I can’t think of a single other legitimate reason to do this. As has been pointed out before, Capcom is flat-out lying about this issue. I never use my PS3 for fighting games, but I guess it’s time to go get my stick dual-modded and buy a (used, so capcom loses a sale) copy for the PS3.

Apparently so. Theres not a problem with 360 and 2 users on 1 console. Fifa, Halo, GoW, MK9 and a bunch of others all did it.

The problem is that this will skew the tournament play for pairs. Online is a great training tool and its something only PS3 pairs will benefit from. 360 users wont be able to train together in the same room. So basically unless Capcom sort it then pairs will probably not be tournament viable or will only draw half the crowd. Its a real shame and I hope Capcom realise this and really try to do something about it if they want pairs play to last.

Honestly, Gold vs Silver members, Paid vs Non-paid… CoD’s guest system??? Well one this isn’t a shooter, two lets face it stats in a fighting game differ from that of a FPS, should a loss on the silver/gold affect the gold member? In CoD it doesn’t matter if both are on the same name and one is logged on as guest, There is are individual statistics rather than actual team, the only team score is probably win/loss?

Now in a Fighting game the score is win/loss on a match, there is no way to keep track of individual score, because I mean it’s a fighter what matters is your win/loss ratio. Accuracy isn’t being tracked, just different scoring.

Would have been nice if they worked a little harder and let xbox players have a guest. oh well, it’s 1p v 2p is still the way to go anyways for fighters.

If I cared about the 360, I’d be pissed. I do feel for the people who were looking forward to that feature and basically got robbed. They knew about this long before hand and didn’t say anything. That shit’s criminal.

I like how every day I’m more and more validated in canceling my pre-order.

12 DLC characters FREE as Xbox 360 Exclusives for 6 months confirmed

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1430386161 Michael Maman

So in general, Street Fighter x Tekken was supposed to be made exclusively for PS3 and PSV. Then, when microsoft fans want the game to be ported to 360, They get a cheap half-assed version of the game with no exclusive characters, (except for Pac-man and megaman only if the disc is hacked) poor online, and can’t combine pair play..

I am going to take a guess that this is going to be vice versa with Tekken x Street Fighter.. and that PS3/PSV users are gonna be disappointed.. Um.. Hooray for 360 fans?

I believe it was a combination of programmer conspiracy and cost. Programmers didn’t want to code it (possibly due to a lack of sleep in the last 2 years) so they estimated it would take many times more time and resources than the ideal solution would, and so the planners nixed the idea, and now it’s the PR guys job to brainwash the angry fans. The Delaystation 3 version would win out as the better version but the 2 frames of added input delay still make it a bush-league machine for tournament play, so I’ll still get this one only for my xbox.

I will not purchase thisOR ANY OTHER CAPCOM GAME until 2 player online co-op is available on the 360.

MK here I come.

For the record I own both consoles but mainly game on the 360 (the ps3 is for blu rays and sony exclusives) that and I only have one controller for the playstation. Either way they promoted this game with the 2 player online co op function and I am merely holding Capcom to their word. I posted my thoughts on their facebook and twitter pages and will check back once a week until this error is corrected.

They will be held accountable for not living up to their word.

I’m surprised they didn’t mention this before the game came out when buyers decided which version of the game to get. So now I really wish I did get the PS3 version. Thanks for the heads up I guess Capcom?

Dunno why people are complaining, thought ppl already had enough info on this game not to buy it.

Agreed!
DONT BUY IT

Is this the kind of stuff that should be reported to consumer protection agencies? I have no idea how they deal with digital issues like bugs, glitches and software not working as intended, but this is pretty huge and worth bringing to their attention imo.

First fix the sound/frame lag in online play’s netcode. THEN lets fix the Co-op online pair play!! C’mon Capcom, us players has invested in so much money with you over the years. You owe us this much at least. Am I right!??

To handle additional players on XBL would probably require more work and coding effort. They opted to just cut it instead of trying to code and debug it.

This move shouldn’t really suprise anyone. Capcom is all about making sure the games are as profitable as possible.

I played the co-op mode, it’s not that big of a deal to be honest. It’d be more useful in a game like KOFXIII.

Just would like to re-iterate that 2 frames of input delay makes PS3 a non-tournament viable system. Cough , cough, … EVO.
